In One Important Way, Condominiums Had a Banner Year in 2017. Though In one important way, condominiums had a banner year in 2017. Though closings were about par for the course and contract volume was nothing to write home about, a single Manhattan building finally crossed the $4 billion threshold. Thanks to a familiar face, 2017 gave us the most expensive condo building in Manhattan history, when Gary Barnett’s Central Park Tower was approved to hit the market at $4 billion. The eye-popping total exceeded its limestone rival at 220 Central Park South by about $600 million. Despite a sagging luxury market, Barnett and a handful of other developers are shooting for ambitious sellouts. Appearing on this list are Bizzi & Partners’ long-delayed supertall at 125 Greenwich Street, the Elad Group and Peebles Corporation’s drama- soaked Clock Tower conversion in Tribeca, and HFZ Capital’s conversion of the historic Belnord on the Upper West Side. After Central Park Tower, the prices drop off quickly. HFZ’s Belnord conversion was the only other condo project with a targeted price tag above $1 billion in 2017, with a projected sellout of $1.35 billion. Following that, a trio of waterfront condo towers at GID Development’s Waterline Square have a combined sellout of $1.15 billion, and two of the condo towers made the list independently. Here is the full list of the most valuable condo offering plans accepted by the New York State Attorney General’s office in 2017. 1. Central Park Tower Developer: Extell Development Sellout: $4,016,410,000 Units: 179 Type: New Construction Neighborhood: Midtown Extell’s Central Park Tower will blow past a slew of city records if it reaches its projected sellout of $4 billion for 179 apartments. The 95-story tower at 217 West 57th Street will be the city’s tallest residential building at 1,550 feet, the only one with its own ballroom and the first to list a staggering 20 units at $60 million or above. Gary Barnett’s project is being designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, with a seven-story Nordstrom flagship store at its base. Of the units listed, prices average $7,106 per square foot, and the priciest unit on the market is officially on sale for $95 million. By comparison, the average price per square foot was $7,374 at Vornado Realty Trust’s 220 CPS when it launched sales in 2015, and asking prices at 432 Park averaged $6,894 per foot in 2014. After an 18-month quest, Barnett signed a term sheet for a $900 million construction loan from JPMorgan Chase in July, which is only a part of the cost of the project. The capital stack at Central Park Tower also includes equity from Chinese investor SMI USA and funding from EB-5 investors. 2. The Belnord Developer: HFZ Capital Group Sellout: $1,352,130,000 Units: 213 Type: Conversion Neighborhood: Upper West Side The conversion of the Belnord, a century-old residential complex in the heart of the Upper West Side, is projected to bring in $1.35 billion. HFZ Capital Group’s plan to convert the rental property into 213 condominiums was accepted by the AG’s office in August. The $1.3 billion sellout puts the average price per apartment at $6.1 million. The limestone-and-brick structure at West 86th Street and Broadway was built in 1908 and is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Ziel Feldman’s HFZ bought the residential and retail portions of the building from Extell Development for $575 million in 2016. 3. 125 Greenwich Street Developer: Bizzi & Partners and New Valley Sellout: $875,394,450 Units: 275 Type: New Construction Neighborhood: Financial District Bizzi & Partners and Howard Lorber’s New Valley are shooting for an $875 million sellout at the long-delayed Financial District supertall at 125 Greenwich Street. The Rafael Viñoly-designed tower will rise 912 feet, with 275 apartments across 77 stories. Sales for the project launched in September, with prices ranging from $1.3 million to $6 million. In July, the developers were working on finanilzing a $450 million financing package from a consortium of banks led by Singapore-based United Overseas Bank. 4. Two Waterline Square Developer: GID Development Group and Henley Holding Co. Sellout: $653,056,440 Units: 160 Type: New Construction Neighborhood: Lincoln Square GID Development Group and Henley Holding Co. are expecting a $653 million sellout at their 160-unit condominium tower at 30 Riverside Boulevard, rechristened Two Waterline Square. It is one of three condominium towers the developers are bringing to Waterline Square, with a total projected sellout of $1.15 billion for 263 units. The 38-story tower is being designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, with interiors by Yabu Pushelberg. Sales at the trio of condo towers launched in October, with prices starting at roughly $2 million. The three towers are part of a greater five-tower rental complex formerly known as Riverside Center. GID and Henley, a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, secured more than $1.2 billion for the 1,132-unit project. The developers bought the sites from Extell, which had already rezoned them for a large-scale residential project, paying $940 million in all to acquire the sites. 5. 108 Leonard Developer: Elad Group and Peebles Corporation Sellout: $637,288,500 Units: 152 Type: Conversion Neighborhood: Tribeca The conversion of Tribeca’s landmarked clock tower building is projected to bring in $637 million, according to the AG offering plan. The Elad Group and Don Peebles’ Peebles Corporation are redeveloping the former New York Life Insurance building at 108 Leonard Street (also called 346 Broadway) into 151 condos. The developers bought the 13-story, 400,000-square-foot property from the city for $160 million in 2013 and ran into several legal speed bumps in the ensuing years. They scrapped plans for a triplex penthouse that would have required electrifying the iconic clock, after a court ruled against them, and the partners accused each other of trying to sabotage the project. Their legal woes are now settled and the condo plans were accepted by the AG earlier this month. 6. 277 Fifth Avenue Developer: Victor Group and Lendlease Sellout: $535,053,200 Units: 130 Type: New Construction Neighborhood: Nomad This 55-story condominium tower designed by Rafael Viñoly is projected to bring in $535 million. Victor Group and Lendlease filed plans with the AG for the building at 277 Fifth Avenue in January, and they were accepted in August. The 55-story tower will have 130 apartments. Initial plans for the property, filed in 2015, called for a shorter building with more apartments. Victor Group paid $99 million for the site ($750 per buildable square foot) in June 2014, and Australian construction firm Lendlease acquired a stake in the project a year later. Earlier this year the developers secured $269 million in construction financing from a consortium of Singaporean bank, and $100 million in new preferred equity from a subsidiary of real estate giant Beijing Capital Development Holdings. 7. 49 Chambers Street Developer: Chetrit Group Sellout: $333,925,000 Units: 99 Type: Conversion Neighborhood: Financial District The Chetrit Group is targeting a $334 million sellout at its conversion of 49 Chambers Street in the Financial District. The Woods Bagot-designed conversion will bring 99 apartments to the 14-story Beaux-Arts building, the former Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank headquarters. Chetrit purchased the landmarked building from the city for $89 million in 2013 and filed plans with the AG’s office in January of 2016. The plans were accepted in February of this year, with an average price of $3.3 million per unit. Sales launched in April with prices ranging from $2 million to $3.3 million. 8. 91 Leonard Developer: Toll Brothers Sellout: $322,824,100 Units: 111 Type: New Construction Neighborhood: Tribeca The AG’s office accepted Toll Brothers’ offering plan for a 111-unit condo building in Tribeca in October, with a total projected sellout of $309 million. Plans for the 20-story building at 91 Leonard Street were filed in April, with an initial price tag of $323 million. Since then, the luxury homebuilder has price- chopped a bunch of units. The overall sellout is now about $314 million. SMI USA, the American arm of Shanghai Municipal Investment, joined the project as an equity partner in November, paying $73 million to do so. The developers launched sales in October, with a mix of studios through four-bedroom units, and prices ranging from $795,000 to $10.5 million. 9. One Waterline Square Developer: GID Development Group Sellout: $315,348,000 Units: 56 Type: New Construction Neighborhood: Lincoln Square A second Waterline Square building made the list. GID is targeting a $315.3 million sellout at One Waterline Square, the Richard Meier-designed condominium at 10 Riverside Boulevard. The 56 condos are only a fraction of the building’s apartments, which will also include rental units. Plans with the city’s Department of Buildings show GID is developing a total of 288 units at the site. The last of the buildings, the Rafael Viñoly-designed Three Waterline Square at 639 West 59th Street, will also include both rentals and condos. GID paid $265 million to Extell Development and the Carlyle Group last year to buy the development sites for 10 Riverside and 369 West 59th Street. Sales at both buildings launched in October. 10. 40 Bleecker Developer: Broad Street Development Sellout: $288,517,000 Units: 61 Type: Conversion Neighborhood: Noho Raymond Chalme and Daniel Blanco’s Broad Street Development is aiming for a sellout of $296 million at a forthcoming Noho condominium.

  • CITY PLANNING COMMISSION N 980314 ZRM Subway
    CITY PLANNING COMMISSION July 20, 1998/Calendar No. 3 N 980314 ZRM IN THE MATTER OF an application submitted by the Department of City Planning, pursuant to Section 201 of the New York City Charter, to amend various sections of the Zoning Resolution of the City of New York relating to the establishment of a Special Lower Manhattan District (Article IX, Chapter 1), the elimination of the Special Greenwich Street Development District (Article VIII, Chapter 6), the elimination of the Special South Street Seaport District (Article VIII, Chapter 8), the elimination of the Special Manhattan Landing Development District (Article IX, Chapter 8), and other related sections concerning the reorganization and relocation of certain provisions relating to pedestrian circulation and subway stair relocation requirements and subway improvements. The application for the amendment of the Zoning Resolution was filed by the Department of City Planning on February 4, 1998. The proposed zoning text amendment and a related zoning map amendment would create the Special Lower Manhattan District (LMD), a new special zoning district in the area bounded by the West Street, Broadway, Murray Street, Chambers Street, Centre Street, the centerline of the Brooklyn Bridge, the East River and the Battery Park waterfront. In conjunction with the proposed action, the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development is proposing to amend the Brooklyn Bridge Southeast Urban Renewal Plan (located in the existing Special Manhattan Landing District) to reflect the proposed zoning text and map amendments. The proposed zoning text amendment controls would simplify and consolidate regulations into one comprehensive set of controls for Lower Manhattan.

  • 49 Chambers Street Classical Bank Building Juncheng Today's Luxury Residential Building
    July 12, 2018 49 Chambers Street Classical Bank Building Juncheng Today's Luxury Residential Building [New York News] July 12, 2018, 06:00 Roof garden. door. Like many metropolises in the world, New York City is known for its adaptability and flexibility in the urban development process. Changing a church into a nightclub, changing into a shopping mall or becoming an apartment is happening all the time. From the former factory buildings and warehouses to luxury residences, the red light district on 42nd Street was redeveloped into a family entert ainment center, the South Street fish market became a popular riverside residential area, etc. With the development of the times, metamorphosis is the theme, leading New York into 21 century. In the early and middle of the last century, the building of the Bank Building Headquarters was a symbol of wealth and strength, and it was often impressive, many of which were local landmarks, rather than setting up points next to convenience stores like today's bank branches. In recent years, some of these gorgeous b ank buildings, including some famous buildings, have been converted to retail or other uses, and some have been demolished. However, some locations, strong structures, and elegant designs have been converted into top-class homes because it is impossible to recreate these beautiful buildings with current labor, cost and materials. The 49 Chambers Street building next to the New York City Hall building is a former bank headquarters that is being converted into a top-class home. Formerly known as Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank, the building was once the largest bank in the United States.

  • FORMER EMIGRANT INDUSTRIAL SAVINGS BANK BUILDING, 51 Chambers Street, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission July 8, 1985, Designation List 181 LP-1438 FORMER EMIGRANT INDUSTRIAL SAVINGS BANK BUILDING, 51 Chambers Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1909-1912; architect, Raymond Almirall. Landmar k Site: Borough of Manhattan, Tax Map Block 153, Lot 1 in part consisting of the land on which the described building is situated. On June 14th, 1983, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the former Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 13). The hearing had been duly adverti sed in accordance with the provision of law. Two witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in oppos ition to designation. Correspondence was received in favor of designation, including a letter from Robert Litke, Commissioner of the Department of General Services. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The 17-story Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank was constructed between 1909 and 1912, and was the third bank built on the site for the same expanding organi­ zation. Designed by architect Raymond F. Almirall, who trained at the Ecole de s Beaux-Arts in Paris, the building is well conceived and richly decorated, refl ect­ ing contemporary architectural trends towards neoclassicism in skyscrapers. The pioneering "H"-plan of the Emigrant represents an important phase in the develop­ ment of the early skyscraper, resolving problems of interior lighting with simpli­ city and with dignity. The Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank was incorporated in 1850. Organized under the auspices of Bishop John Hughes and the Irish Emigrant Society, it was intended to protect the savings of newly-arrived immigrants (particularly those from Ireland) from unscrupulous people who might take advantage of their i nexre r ience.

  • Hudson Yards Project Has Exceeded Initial Estimates
    New York City Independent Budget Office Fiscal Brief April 2013 Financing Redevlopment on the Far West Side: City’s Spending on Hudson Yards Project Has Exceeded Initial Estimates Summary In 2005, the city launched its planned transformation of the Far West Side of Manhattan—an area that has become known as Hudson Yards—into a high-density offi ce, commercial, and residential area through rezoning, the extension of the 7 subway line, and the creation of a new park-lined boulevard. To fund the infrastructure upgrades, the plan called for value capture fi nancing, a strategy that uses the expected taxes and fees from new developments in the area to back the bonds issued to pay for the infrastructure improvements. Recognizing that in the early years of the project revenues would not be suffi cient to make interest payments on the bonds issued to fund the redevelopment, the city committed to make up the difference. The Bloomberg Administration is now proposing a major rezoning of East Midtown. Concerned that this new initiative would compete with Hudson Yards and slow the revenue growth needed to make Hudson Yards self-supporting, Council Member Daniel Garodnick asked IBO to review city spending to date on the plan and to consider the short-term outlook for revenues at Hudson Yards. Among our fi ndings: • Public expenditures paid to the Hudson Yards Infrastructure Corporation, including funds to help make interest payments on the $3 billion in bonds issued by the corporation, have totaled $374 million since 2006. • Over the same period, the city has committed an additional $22 million from its capital budget and $12 million from its operating budget to the project.

    CHAPTER 5. HISTORIC RESOURCES 5.1 INTRODUCTION 5.1.1 CONTEXT Lower Manhattan is home to many of New York City’s most important historic resources and some of its finest architecture. It is the oldest and one of the most culturally rich sections of the city. Thus numerous buildings, street fixtures and other structures have been identified as historically significant. Officially recognized resources include National Historic Landmarks, other individual properties and historic districts listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places, properties eligible for such listing, New York City Landmarks and Historic Districts, and properties pending such designation. National Historic Landmarks (NHL) are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. All NHLs are included on the National Register, which is the nation’s official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. Historic resources include both standing structures and archaeological resources. Historically, Lower Manhattan’s skyline was developed with the most technologically advanced buildings of the time. As skyscraper technology allowed taller buildings to be built, many pioneering buildings were erected in Lower Manhattan, several of which were intended to be— and were—the tallest building in the world, such as the Woolworth Building. These modern skyscrapers were often constructed alongside older low buildings. By the mid 20th-century, the Lower Manhattan skyline was a mix of historic and modern, low and hi-rise structures, demonstrating the evolution of building technology, as well as New York City’s changing and growing streetscapes.
